Why 2022 is Your Year to Buy a Home in Florida

March 15, 2022

Look, we get it. We know the Florida real estate market as much as anyone, and we know it’s incredibly hot right now. In fact, Zillow projects the top two real estate markets in the entire country will be in Florida for 2022. We previously went over some tips to help you stand out. Now, let’s look at why 2022 is your year.

It’s All About Options

The real estate market in Florida doesn’t look like it will be slowing down anytime soon, but this doesn’t mean it’s not a good opportunity for buyers. In fact, the real estate market remaining hot means there should be plenty of good options for you to choose from when it comes to finding your family’s next home.

If you want to land a home, it’s important to know what you want and narrow it down quickly so you’re not left in the dust of other offers.

Know What You Want

That last point is the key to getting out front of certain homes and properties. If you narrow your search to homes that fit exactly what you’re looking for, it allows you to find homes earlier in the process and get at the forefront of potential buyers.

This could include narrowing the number of bedrooms, amenities, and even more importantly picking the right zip code.

Going Against the Grain

The hot real estate market in Florida is leading to some overvaluations and interest rates are going up, so this could turn off a lot of buyers. If you’re ready to buy a home, don’t let this be you. While the government isn’t expected to give out any additional stimulus checks, the previous round and other government aid have brought disposable income to a lot of families. This could be a means to get ahead of those who are waiting out the home-buying market.

Renting might sound appealing because the process of buying a home itself is not only expensive but also stressful. This could be a great excuse to sit it out, but we’re already seeing families who regret not acting when they had a chance.

There are data indicators on what direction the real estate market may go, but it’s ultimately impossible to predict exactly how the market will react so don’t get left out thinking you can beat the market later.
